Practice Safe Maintenance Only qualified, trained adults should service this machine. Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep area clean and dry. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. Never lubricate, service or adjust the machine or attachment while it is moving. Keep safety devices in place and in working condition. Keep hardware tight. Keep hands, feet, clothing, jewelry, and long hair away from any moving parts, to prevent them from getting caught. Lower any attachment completely to the ground or to an existing attachment mechanical stop before servicing the attachment. Disengage all power and stop the engine. Lock park brake and remove the key. Let machine cool. Disconnect battery or remove spark plug wire (for gasoline engines) before making any repairs. Before servicing machine or attachment, carefully release pressure from any components with stored energy, such as hydraulic components and springs. Release hydraulic pressure by lowering attachment or cutting units to the ground or to a mechanical stop and move hydraulic control levers. 4
Safety Practice Safe Maintenance Securely support any machine or attachment elements that must be raised for service work. Use jack stands or lock service latches to support components when needed. Never run engine unless park brake is locked. Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts. Replace all worn or damaged safety and instruction decals. Check all hardware at frequent intervals to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. Do not modify machine or safety devices.

Installing Installing Prepare Machine Install Ballast If no front attachment is installed on tractor, ballast is required to stabilize machine. X700 Series tractors require four front suitcase weights, 18Kg (40 lbs) each. Install Spreader NOTE: It is recommended that two people lift the spreader for this installation. 1. With pins (A) locked out, lean spreader back and place lower mount slots over studs (C) 2. Lift the rear of the spreaders until it clicks into position. Release pins (A) verify full pin engagement for proper securement. Wiring 1. Locate the 12v power outlet on the right rear fender. Reach under the fender and unplug the wire harness (A) from the outlet. A A 2. Plug the power wire in line with the 12v outlet and tractor harness. 3. To route the wires into the tool box, drill a 1-1/8 hole (B) into the back wall of the plastic tool box. C B 7
Spinner/Rotor Wiring 4. Connect the control box mounting spade to the control box using two #6-32 screws (C) as shown. Using Spreader Control C C A B C Gate/Vibrator 5. Insert the control box mounting spade into the tool box lid slot. 6. Route the two wires from the control box through the hole drilled in step 3 and connect the power wire from the 12v outlet. 7. With the spreader mounted, plug the spreader extension wire harness to the remaining plug from the control box. 8. Use supplied clamp and hardware to attach extension harness to right side of spreader hitch mount. Switch (A) controls the motor (spinner, agitator, auger) On and Off. Knob (B) controls the speed of the motor and the distance the material is thrown. For the salt spreader, it also controls the application rate and auger speed. Switch (C) only applies to the fertilizer spreader. It has no functionality on the salt spreader. Using Spreader IMPORTANT : Avoid damage! Never leave material in hopper for long periods of time. Material attracts moisture and hardens. Never operate spreader near pedestrians. The salt spreader is for rock salt only. Do not use spreader for fertilizer. If the salt spreader becomes jammed with material turn off the spreader. Turn center knob to the fastest speed, turn on the spreader momentarily to get the material to flow. Return to normal spreading once the jam is cleared. The speed of the spinner and the speed of the vehicle controls calibration of the salt spreader. The knob on the control box controls the width of the spread, and the speed of the vehicle controls application rate. 8
Operating Release Attachment 1. Disconnect the hitch extension harness from the control box. 2. Move the upper pins (A) to the locked out position. 3. Lift the spreader slightly and pull back on the release bar (B) and lower the spreader to the ground. 4. Disengage lower mount slots (C) and slide spreader away from vehicle. A C B Maintenance Servicing Spreader When servicing is necessary, perform it in a protected area. Do not use power tools in rain or snow because of danger of electrical shock or injury. Keep area well lighted. Use proper tools. Keep the area of service clean to help avoid accidents. Disconnect electricity to spreader before servicing. The controller is a solid state electronic unit and is not serviceable. Any attempt to service will void warranty. There are no serviceable parts in the motor/transmission assembly. Any attempt to service will void warranty. When replacing parts, use only original manufacturer s parts. Failure to do so will void warranty. Use dielectric grease on all electrical connections to prevent corrosion at the beginning and end of the season and each time power plugs are disconnected. Wash unit after each use to prevent material build-up and corrosion. When pressure washing motor enclosure area, stay at least 1 m (36 in.) away from motor enclosures. Paint or oil all bare metal surfaces at the end of the season. If motor cover is removed for any reason, use silicone sealant to ensure weather-proofing of enclosure. Leave small area unsealed to allow moisture to escape.
